On Wednesday evening Mr. and 
Mrs. J, Hatfield gave a farewell party 
at*their home to the Rev. B, H. Webb, 
incumbeut of St. Alban’s church, who 
is leaving Coleman for the benefit of 
his health. About forty members of 
Mr. Webb's congregation and frientis 
assembled to do honot to the guest of 
the evening. J. R. Orawford presided 
at the instrument and J. Anderson 
played the violin while’ the company 
enjoyed a social dance, It was a jolly 
crowd and a wave of real friendship 
prevailed. A very pretty and appro- 
priate song was sung by Alf, Davis, 
and Wm. Williams sung a sohg. The 
refreshments were an important part 
of the programme and were dainty 
and delicious. 

Then My. E. Disney, church warden, 
gave a few very fitting and appro- 
priate remarks and presented the Rev. 
E. H. Webb witha well filled purse 
the contents of whith 
the members of the congregation of 
St. Albaih’s. Mr. Webb, surprised apd

with much fecling, made a very fitting 


man to make friends quickly, but he 
knew he had a good many warm 
friends in Coleman. Mr. G: P. Porter

Allen B. Macdonald, of Lyndon, Al

Liberal candidate at the next federa 
élections, for the constituency of Mac- 
leod, was born at Glendonald, Glen-

received his education in the county 
public schools, and’ spent the early 
years of his life on his father’s farm. 
In 1866 he engaged with the late Hon.

Nancy ‘statted angrily as. the porter 
dropped a suit cxse into the front seat 
of bet section and Philip Graban fol- 
jlowed him to the seat. 

“This is ungenerous,” she said. tense- 
dy when. the pofter had taken himself 
oe off, -“How did you discover that I was 

’ coming?” 

“fam afraid that you will not credit 
my protestations,” said Graham sober. 
* by, “but T.asstre you that my surprise 

equals your own. 1 was telegraphed 

for not two hours ago. I had just time 
ito throw a few things into the suit case 
g and run for the train. I was under the 
apt impression that you were to remain 
: with your aunt a week and that—last 
night would make no difference in your 
r plans.” j 

“Last night had nothing to do with 
it,” disclaimed Nancy. “Father wired 
for me. I am afraid that it is serious, 
and you elect to follow me and annoy 
me with your arguments.” 

“7 have already assured you of my 
entire ignorance of your presence on 
the flier,” said Philip stiffly. “Ih proof 
of my good intentions I shall betake 

a ‘myself to the smoker until I am able to 
; jarrange an exchange of seats with the 
conductor.” 

He raised his hat and stalked for- 

(ward in the direction of the cafe car, 
leaving Nancy with her feelings sadly 
'rufied. Only the night before Graham 
‘had proposed to her and had been re- 
' * She was certain that her aunt, 
' . Merrivale, had managed to get 
word to Philip that Nancy had been 
jtelegraphed for. His presence here 
\was a part of Mrs. Merrivale’s match- 
‘making plans. 
; Hiad she been left to herself -Nancy 
;would have accepted Graham; but, be- 
ing a young person of spirit, she de- 
jclined to be forced upon Graham or 
to have him forced upon her. From 
‘the beginning Aunt Merrivale’s plans 
had been too obvious. 

They were flying through the yard 
mow. She could not leave the train. 


‘GRAHAM PASSED HER ON HIS WAY TO THE 
DINING CAR. 
Of course Philip would be back later 
to explain that he was unable to effect 
an exchange into another car. Prob- 
‘ably he would spend the evening 
across the section frpm-her, and, un- 
ike the men, there was no place to 
“which Nancy could retreat. , 
“She was genuinely surprised when 
‘presently a strange porter, came for 
\the suit case, placing another in the 
in its place. She smiled to her- 
‘self with satisfaction. It was plain to 
,bé seen that she had shown Graham 
how she had penetrated his plan, and 
2 acknowledged his defeat. Idly 
ie wondered if he would leave the 
train at Philadelphia; then mentally 
whe scolded herself for taking any in- 
terest in Philip Graham's movements. 
“They .were well past Philadelphia 
(when Grabam passed her on his way 
© the dining car, and Nancy rather

As he returned from the diner to seek 
the car ahead she half started from 
her seat, but sank back in confusion. 
It would never do to tell Philip that 
she needed him. He would think that 
she was seeking to reopen the question 
of last night, and he would suggest 
that the need was permanent. 

‘But as the minutes dragged - past 
Nancy’s discomfort increased, and at 
“ast she signaled the porter and direct- 
ed him to go after Grabam.. The por 
ter grinned understandingly as be went 
forward to the cafe car and presently 
returned with Graham, whom he pre- 
sented with the proud air of accom- 


plishment ‘worn by the magician who 
extracts a rabpit from a hat. 

“You a H?’ Philip -asked, -with 
grave concétn, as he noticed the drawn 


lips and the“feverish sparkle of her 
eyes. 

“Not il” shé explained, “but 1 shall 
be presently if I have to sit here and 
listen to the wailing of those children, 
with no one to talk, to. I thought— 
perhaps—you wouldn't mind doing a 
charitable act and talk’ to me for a lit- 
tle while.” ; 

“Philanthropy.. becomes a pleasure 
when it a&sumes so inviting a form,” 
he declared, with a smile, as he sank 
into the seat beside her. 

Graham was a capital conversational- 
ist, and almost before she realized it 
the porter had begun to take dewn 
the Depths ea! yatang @. glanced at his

tare-ao-yet ed Nan¢y, 
Graham smiled. 

“I. was going to ask permission to 
walt until after the next stop,” he said. 
“We can take a little walk on the sta- 
tion platform and get a breath of fresh 
air before We face the smother of the 
berths.” 

“There’s the whistle now,” said Nan- 
cy as she reached for her hat. 

The train slowed down, and present- 
ly they were pacing up and down the 
platform. There was a sbarpnéss in 
the air that was grateful after the 
overwarmed car, and Nancy was sorry 
when the warning came to get aboard 
again. 

The porter from Graham’s car ap- 
proached them as Nancy resumed her 
seat. He handed Graham a telegram. 

“I wired your father for more par- 
ticulars,” Philip explained when he 
had read the message, “Your aunt 
from San Francisco is visiting your 
father and wished to see you before 
she returns to the coast.” 

“Is that all?” Nancy’s face express- 
ed the relief she felt. “Isn’t it odd I 
never thought of that? But 1 never 
told you that I was worried about fa- 
ther,” she added. ; 
“Not in words,” jhe admitted. “I

and 


Nancy watched him until he had al- 
most reached the end of the aisle; then 
she ran after him, catching up with 
him just as he reached the vestibule. 

“Ts that all you wanted to say?” she 
asked as she swayed lightly toward 
him. ; 

“Not all I wanted to say,” he re- 
plied, “but all that I was permitted to 
say.” 1 

“The rest is permitted, and the an- 
swer is ‘Yes’ this time,” was the im- 
pulsive reply. “I'll marry you even if 
Auntie Merrivale does want me to.” 

And Graham's eyes smiled compre- 
hendingly as he bent and kissed the 
rosy lips. He was not appreciative of 
matchmakers himself. 


Colors In Dreams. 

Red and yellow are the dream colors 
if Dr. Havelock Ellis is right. No oth- 
er hues come to the dreamer of dreams. 
Simroth has declared that red is the 
most primitive of colors, and long ago 
protoplasm from which human beings 
derived their origin on the new earth 
probably responded to or was affected 
by red color waves. 

In the depth of the sea the algae, or 
seaweed, are red, With the savage red 
is the favorite color, and for a bright 
plece of red calico African savages 
gladly would give valuable elephant 
tusks, 

Red strikes the note of intense emo- 
tions, It is the color of joy, exultation, 
jubilation, Savages paint themselves 
red and rejoice at seeing each other in 
burning hues. German women of the 
early ages daubed their bodies with 
briliant red and yellow and considered 
themselves most beauteously adorned. 

On sacred festivals in Rome and 
‘Greece, Pliny records, red was smeared 
over the statues of Jupiter and was the 
color of religious rejoicing. The hu- 
man eyes, it is said, can distinguish 
100,000 different hues or colors and can 
appreciate and differentiate twenty 
shades of each hue. In other words, 
the eye is capable of 2,000,000 color im- 
pressions.

_ English Churches. 

Some pews in the fine old church 
at Malpas, Cheshire, England, possess 
& most amusing peculiarity, Each 
one consists of several seats, which 
‘are really, though not apparently, de- 
tached, and they look easy and com- 
fortable. In this case appearances 
are deceitful, for should one occupant 
of any one seat lean forward, while 
“nidnid nodding”, over-he goes on 
The seat is 86 constructed 
as to-easily tip over when any weight 
is placed on its outer or front e 
and was so designed to prevent peo- 
ple from going to sleep in church. 

We still find in a few of our ancient 
g@hurches ‘the high pews, luxuridus 
cushions and curious fittings of former 


ag 

n the good old times, when the 
squire was lord of all he surveyed in 
the village, his. pew in the parish 
church was often a’kind of sitting 
room. One such pew occupies the 
whole of the south transept of the 
diminutive church at Gatton, in 
Surrey. It has a fireplace, a low seat 
which extends around two sides of 
the room and blue tapestry decora- 
tion. Above it’ is another floor, on 
which are three or four ordinary pews 
for the use of the squire’s servants, 
and from it a covered way leads to 
Gatton Hall, some few yards away. 
There may be some truth in the story 
that a former squire used to enjoy a 
pipe by the fireplace during the ser- 
mon. and that if he became weary he 
would go out through the private door 
for a short stroll in the churchyard. 

A similar pew exists in a church at 
Colwich, Staffordshire. It has a stair- 
case leading to a private door, and 
it is said fhat the postman came this 
way to>,dent* pap geare ‘and ‘that the 
servant brought in cake and wine for 
consumption during the service. 

The royal pew of St..George’s chap- 
el, Windsor, is peculiar. because it 
is the largest of its kind in England 
‘and on account of its being situated 
above the choir, down upon which the 
Queen can see the service from a fine 
oriel window. 

In little Benjamin Church, Nor- 
folk, is a pew for strangers and wed- 
ding parties. Tt was constructed bv 
a shepherd and bears a_ cheerful, 
suggestive piece of ornamentation in 
the shape of the carving of a skeleton. 


’ Royalty and Railways. 


Two interesting rsonalities are 
soon to retire from the railway world. 
Mr. George Wright. the superinten- 
dent of Victoria station, on the Lon- 
don, Brighton & South Coast line, is 
giving up his post in July; and the 
retirement of Mr. Jno. Queen, the 
stationmaster at the South-Eastern & 
Chatham terminus, has already been 
announced. They are officials who 
have been responsible at their respec- 
tive stations for the safety and com- 
fort of the long list of royal persons, 
English and foreign. who have trav- 
eled to and from the continent by 


Victoria was a frequent visitor to the 
statfon on her way to and from Os- 
borne. When the Queen died, Mr. 
Wright was responsible for the . ar- 
rangements for conveying the body 
from Osborne to Victoria, and King 
Edward expressed his high apprecia- 
tion of them: i 

Of the late King of Portugal and 
the late Crown Prince Mr. Wright 
has the pleasantgst recollections. 
“Most kindly and genial’”’ is his de- 
scription of the murdered monarch. 
The two royal personages who pre- 
ferred to travel slowly were Queen 
Victoria and the late Shah of Persia. 
Her Majesty never cared to travel at 
‘a speed higher than from 40 to 45 
miles an hour; and the Shah was 
frightened if a over 20 miles an 
hour were attained: In February, 
1884, part of the station was blown 
up by Fenians. A Gladstone-bag had 
been deposited in the cloakroom con- 
taining dynamite, and when this ex- 
lod 
the ticket office, besides doing other 
damage. Mr. Wright, who lived in 
the neighborhood, heard the noise of 
the explosion, and hurried to the 
station. He found that the flames 
had been speedily extinguished. One 
station hand, who at the time of the 
explosion was fixing the fire-hose near 
the cloakroom, alone was injured, but 
‘not seriously. i 

After the Victoria explosion a 
search was made at the other railway 
stations, and at Paddington and Char- 
ing Cross Gladstone bags containing 
dynamite were found in the. cloak- 
rooms. The dynamitards were never 
discovered. They escaped, it was 
lieved, to America. Mr. Wright has 
only had to deal with one strike. 
This occurred many years ago, when 
he was on the western section. The 
engine-drivers went out on strike, but 
retuvned after two days. Guards 
were pressed into service as firemen 
in order to keep the service running. 
Since Mr. Wright took charge of the 
station the traffic has been multiplied 
by three. 


Decrease of Crime.

ble offences in 1906 in England 
was 59,079, as sane 54,667 in 1857,

For a time the parents. took no notice

course he pleases. a stee 

Others again organize revolutionary 
plots abroad. Many an_ Anarchist 
atrocity which has startled the world 
has been planned in the neighborhood 
of Soho and Tottenham Court road. 

People are often puzzled to know at 
what Anarchists aim, aside from the 
mere wanton destruction of human 
life and property. 

“Please govern me as little as pos- 
sible,” wrote a famous jurist not long 
ago.” Carry that to its extreme, and 
say “I won’t be governed at all,”’ and 
you get the Anarchist creed. 

He is at open war with any and 
every authority which restricts his 
license to do whatever he. pleases, 
when he pleases, and how he pleases. 
He is anti-monarchist, anti-republi- 
ean, anti-suffragist. He calls for free 
contracts on a basis of equality be- 
tween man and men, subject to repu- 
diation or revision at any moment. 
He says all land and all capital be- 
longs to all society, and is therefore 
common property. That society may 
obtain possession of its own under 
this wild freedom of the individual, 
all authority must be destroyed. 

With human nature perfected and 
beautified, with every man not only 
good and wise, but equally good and 
wise, the unfettered liberty of the 
individual would mean the millen- 
nium, because everybody would act to- 
wards his neighbor with perfect good- 
ness and perfect justice. 

But human nature being what it 
is, a jumble and welter of good and 
bad and middling, of selfishness and 
sacrifice, of, wisdom and folly, of 
knowledge and ignorance, personal 
liberty: must be subject to restrictions 
and limitations, and that is the hap- 
piest and mést prosperous people 
whose system of government allows 
tp widest liberty within the justest 
aws. Me at 

It is the wide liberties of England 
which makes it possible for 3,800 An- 
archists to shelter in London. Eng- 
land allows the widest possible liberty 
even to them. Here they are not 
hounded down for their opinions; 
they are only punished when they 
come in actual conflict with the law. 
But even in England, if the initia- 
tive Anarchist determined on assassi- 
nation or bomb-throwing, it would be 
practically impossible to prevent him. 
Though he may be.a member of an 
Anarchist group, more often than not 
other members of thé group do not 
know what he is going to do.

among Anarchists in London and else- 
where tell how bombs may be manu-

The Growth of London. 


_ The volume of statistical abstracts 
issued by the London County Council 
contains all sorts of interesting in- 
formation on every variety of subject 
connected with the metropolis. 

For the year 1906 Hampstead is the 
borough with the smallest number of 
deaths per thousand of population, 
9.4 being the figure, while to main- 
tain the balance the same borough 
stands at the bottom of the Vet in the 
birth-rate with 16.5 per thousand. 

In the whole of London in the same 
year 124,880 children were born, as 
compared with 126,620 births in the 
receding year. Stepney headed the 
ist with 10,811, or 35.8 per thousand. 

Deaths for the metropolis in 1906 
numbered 71,813, an increase of 1,363 
on the previous year, In other words, 
of 1,000 people living 15.2 died in 
1906, us compared with.a level 15 in 
af. 

Of course, in point of actual num- 
bers the city B London rejoices in 
the lowest figure for both births and 
deaths, owing to its comparatively 
small resident population, but its rate

SOME CLEVER CAPTURES MADE 
BY MODERN DETECTIVES. 


VYrecing a Tragedy From the Slightest 
of GluesLaw Breakers Have Now 
Become Scientific In Their Methods 
Identification by the Famous 
Bertilion System — Treatment of 
Dead Boitles. 


‘The modern detective has of late 
been compared to a keen and diseern- 
ing physician. From e few apparent 
tokens—a tag, & button, a handker- 
chief, a footprint—if.he. is an obser- 
ver, and is endowed with the gifts 
necessary to his profession, - he will 
often be able to reconstruct all the 
different. events connected with a 
drama, and.-discover the, ¢culprit— 
just as an ablé doctor manages to give 
the right diagnosis from a few ex- 
terior signs: The famous detectives. 
invented by Gaboriau, Conan Doyle, 
and Edgar Poe are types to be found 
in real life. We read every day of 
remarkable facts concerning modern 
detectives and their art. We will se- 
lect a few of the most typical. Some 
years ago at Lyons a woman was 
found strangled. She bore on’ her 
neck five finger-marks—four on the 
left and one on the right, which was 
broader and shorter. The detective 
was stfuck by «the irregular disposi- 
tion of these marks, and tried to ap- : 
ply his own. fingers to them. e 
found it impossible, without folding 
his ‘forefinger in a peculiar and ab- 
nor y, and thus inferred that 
the murderer had an ill-shaped finger. 
The fact made his search for th 
criminal easier. The man was discov- 
ered; his forefinger had been injured 
in an accident, He confessed his guilt. 


The Tobatco Ash Clue, 


In a small Belgian village a detec- 
tive found near the body of the victim . 
a cylinder of cigarette ash. The de- 
tective, who knew fh good deal about. 
tobaccos, was able to econvinee him- 
self thet the ash came from’ Algérian 
tobacco. This article being rare im 
that remote village, he inquired fronr 
the tobacconist, who was able to give 
him the description of a man to. whom 
the day .before he had sold a packet 
of these particular cigarettes, Two 
hours later the presumed murderer 
was arrested, the packet of cigarettes 
being found in his pocket. These ex- 
amples, which could easily be multi- 
plied, show gifts of observation and 
reasoning. How is it, then, that the ial 
number of undiscovered and unpun- 
ished crimes increases .every year. 
The reason is that the methods em- 
ployed: by criminals have “improv- 
ed.” Their methods have become + 
scientific, most scientific. The crim- 
inal of to-day handles chloroform, 
opium, morphia with all the clever- 
ness of a physician. Again, the tools 
used the modern jail-bird are un- 
rivalled masterpieces. One amaziug 
proof of the scientific knowledge of 
the modern criminal and his keennass 
in ing abreast of modern discev- 
eri ‘in tbestellawing fact: ,Re- 
cently in Marseilles the huge safe of * 
a bank was rapidly opened by means 
of a complicated apvaratus which had, 
only been invented by a prominent 
engineer. 10 months previovely! But 
the detective also avails himeelf of 
scientific discoverv. Formerly, in 
cases of forgery, for instance, a drop 
of water was placed on the forged 
words. If. the paper had_ been: 
scratched and its size removed the 
water was immediately sucked in; if 
the paper had not been scratched 
the drop remained for a while on the 
top. This process was primitive, and 
spoilt the document. Nowadays the 
suspicious paper. is photographed, 
and on the proof the marks of 
scratching are easily detected bv very 
clear differences‘in the color. Photo- 
graphy is also used in the case of for- 
geries made by means of chemicals. 
When a heap of burnt documents is 
found in the fireplace, thin sheets of 
glass are carefully inserted between 
the burnt papers. As soon as one 
sheet is on the glass it is rendered 
less" brittle by means of a_ special 
liquid, and it is unfolded and photo- 
graphed. .The process is repeated with 
every sheet, and after a few hours 
all the documents are easily read. 


Classified Bloodstains. 


A process formerly used for the 
classification of bloodstains consisted 
in examining them under the micro- 
stope, and from the appearance of 
the red’ globules the investigators 
would draw their conclusions as to 
the nature of the blood. Unfortunate- 
ly this examination gave no resul 
when the bloodstains were not recent. 
To-day «a more scientifie method is 
used, T Stain is washed; a few 
drops of the water used are poured in- 
toa tu containing some specific 
serum from a rabbit inoculated with 
human blood. When the addition of 
the water produces in the serum a 
fine deposit, and gives a misty an- 
pearance to the liquid, one can be 
perfectly certain that the bloodstains 
were human, A detective must be, 
and usually is nowadays, a psycholo-

words are written, a few of them hav-

$500,000 HANGS ON DIVORCE. 


Romance of British Columbia Leads te 
Marriage Tangle. 

Property in Lanarkshire and Stir 
lingshire worth $500,000 depends upor 
the result of an action which has de. 
veloped out of a matrimonial romance 
ivi British Columbia. s 

The question raised is whether the 
defendant, Richard Stirling, was legi- 
timate, and that depended upon whe- 
ther the marriage of his father, ‘Wal- 
ter Stirling, now deceased, was valid. 
The problem takes its origin from a 
dlivorce obtained by a Scotsman in 
North Dakota, U.S.A. 

The story was outlined by counsel: 
Mr. George Smith was bern in For- 
farshire, the son of a minister of the 
Church of Scotland. He went to Can- 

a when 22 and never returned. At 
a_place called Rat Portage he joined 
Mr. Edward Seager, a land surveyor, 
and married that gentleman’s sister, 
Iivangeline Grace, a Canadian lady, 
and the marriage was registered in 
Manitoba. 

Mr. and Mrs. Smith went to the 
territory of Washington, but went back 
tc Canada before completing the two 
years’ pesidence necessary to become 
American subjects, and lived in Alber- 
ti British Columbia. 

Shortly after they went there Walter 
Stirling appeared on the scene. He 
entered into partnership with Smith 
in business\. connected with lands, 
mines, and \timber. Stirling was a 
man of means, and found the money. 
Three children were born to Mr. and 
Mrs. Smith—Jesse, George and Jane. 
The Smith family .and Stirling lived 
in the same ‘house. 

On the last day of December, 1894, 
Walter Stirling departed -from the 
house, leaving a message to the effect 
that if Mrs. Smith found life unbear- 
able with her husband she could fol- 


‘low him. He went twenty miles away. 


Mrs. Smith did find “life unbearable’ 
in a day or two and left her husband 
and joined Stirling 

Then Smith followed his wife, and 
there was:a meeting between them 
and Walter Stirling, The. partnership 
AR were arranged, but whe- 
her they arranged their subsequent 
divorce proceedings was another ques- 
tion, though counsel said he thought 
the evidence was strong that they did. 

Mr. Smith consnlted a lawyer, and 
with his elder daughter went, into 
North Dakota and lived in a boarding- 
house. He stayed less than the ninety 
days to acquire a domicile, and then 
he began his divorce proceedings. He 
did not. accuse his wife of miscon- 
duct, but he obtained his dixorce on 
the ground of desertion, which ‘“‘lac- 
erated his feelings.’ 

According to the laws of Dakota, 
Smith and his wife were parted for- 
ever, and the former returned to ‘his 
home in British Columbia, where he 
married again/ 

Mr. Micklem, K.C., on behalf of the 
defendant, Richard Stirling, said that, 
assuming the marriage of Walter Stir- 
ling and Mrs. Smith—which followed 
the Dakota divorce of Mr. and Mrs. 


Smith—was not a good one, the child 
might be legitimate according to-the 
Scotch law on the footing that the 
parents went through the ceremony 
of merriage believing that they were 


properly magried.’ : 

Evidence of expert lawyers was tak- 
en as to the validity of the Dakota 
divorce, and also as to the bearing of 
the Scotch law. r 

The hearing was adjourned for fur- 
ther elucidation of Scotch law on the 
subject. 


McLean Canyon, Hamilton River. 


By a decision of the Geographic 
Board of Canada, the canyon below 
the Grand Falls of Hamilton river has 
‘been named “McLean,” in honor of 
John McLean, an officer of the H. B. 
Co., who discovered the falls and can- 
yon in 1839. 

The following interesting account of 
\McLean’s visit to the falls is given in 
his book, entitled “Notes of twenty- 
five years’ service in the Hudson Bay 
Territory,” and describes tie scene as 
he viewed it in August, 1839, when he 
‘arrived at the falls on his exploratory 
journey from Ungava Bay. ‘‘About six 
miles above the falls, the river sud- 
denly contracts froni’a width of from 
four hundred to six hundred yards, to 
about one hundred yards, then tush- 
‘fing along in a continuous foaming 
rapid, finally contracts to a_ breath 
of about fifty yards, ere it precipitates 
itself over the rock which forms the 
fall; when still roaring and foaming, 
it continues its maddened course for 
a distance of about thirty miles, pent 
up. between walls of rock that rise 
sometimes to a height of three hun- 
dred feet on either side. This stupen- 
dous fall exceeds in height the falls 
of Niagara, but bears no comparison 
to that sublime object in any other 
respect, being nearly hidden from .the 
view by the abrupt angle which the 
rocks form immediately beneath it. If 
not seen, however, it is felt, such is 
the extraordinary force with which it 
tumbles: into the abyss beneath that 
we felt the solid rock shake under our 
feet, as we stood two hundred feet 
above the gulf. A dense cloud of va- 
por, which can be seen at a great dis- 
tance in clear weather hangs over the 
spot. From the fall to the foot of the 
rapid—a distance of 30 miles—the zig- 
wag course of the river. presents su 
sharp angles that you see nothing of 
it until within a few yards of its 
banks. Might not this circumstance 
lead the jogist to the oppeinaien 
that the fall ad receded dis- 
tance? The mind shrinks from the 


contemplation of a subject that car- 


ries it back to a period of time so re-

THE OBEAH. 


Form of Voodooism Which Is Found 
In the West Indies. 


“Voodooism dead? Don’t you be- 
livve it. We have managed ww stifle 
it in this country and the Engiish 
nave done a g deal in the isiands 
they govern, but it flourishes openly 
in Hayti amd is no secret in the 
French or Dutch colonies.” This was 
the emphatic statement of a man 
vwilo, taough he was born in ‘the 
seuthecn part of the’ United States, | 
has spent the later years of his tiie 
in the British West Indies. “In tne | 
West Indies,”’ he went on, “‘the name 
is obean, not voodoo; but the ideas 
and the practices are. much the same, 
even worse. ‘Ihe blacks go Ww. the 
obeah man to get. vengeance when 
they have a grudge,“and they’re uot 
in the least particular where the ven- 
®Weance stops. The obeah men are ex- 
pert poisoners, and there isn’t a doubt 
that they accommodate their patrons 
who can pay well enough. 

“In some of the West ,Jfidian col- 
onies the whites themselves have to 
etake obeah into account in their deal- 
ings with the negroes. I mean that a 
negrv who has a grudge ggainst al 
white person won’t hesitate to try to 
work ebeah on him—or her, either. 

“Generally it goes no further than 
putting evil chagms in the way of the 
person to-be injured; but one 4 
hints of suspicious deaths and unac- 
countable illnesses. When you laugh 
at such an idea the old-timers shake 
their ‘heads.”’ 

Another American who has spent 
several years in the Dutch West In- 
dies confirms the above. He says that 
the negroes there enjoy the aid and 
comfort of a bakru, whose services 
are seeured to them through the good 
offices of the obeah man. A _ bakru 
is the spirit of a dead pérson. — 

He is annexed to one’s menage by 
going to the graveyard at midnight 
in the last quarter of the moon, ap- 
proaching the dead man’s grave by 
taking two steps forward and one step 
back, and then calling politely but 
firmly upon *the spirit to enter your 
service. This matter of politeness is 
a most important feature of one’s in- 
tercourse .with a bakru. 

If one doesn’t observe the rules of 
courtesy and bid the bakru good 
morning and ggod night, say “Thank 
you” and “Bibase,”” and otherwise 
propitiate his ghostly highness, he is 
likely to play one such trick as will 
make one regret the. day—or night, 
rather—that one ever engaged a 
bakru. But if you are mild and re- 
spectful to your bakru he will prove 
an excellent servant. 

In the morning you ean dispatch 
him to the market: with the injune- 
tion to pick out a good load of wood 
and save it until you come after it. 
Then you can loiter over your other 
affairs without giving the wood an- 
other thought. The bakru will hie 
him to the market, pick out the best 
wood and keep it for you. The owner 
of the wood may try in vain to sell 
it. He,can’® and that’s because the 
bakru is sitting bn it. 

An obeah man or obeah woman is 
resorted to as a rule for help in work- 
ing a spite or in getting a wish, espe- 
cially ‘the wish to bask in the love of 
some particular person. Some of 
these charms are rather extraordin- 
ary. For instance, if a ‘lovesick girl 
will take some of her hair, burn_ it, 
rub it to a powder, and put it into 
the food of the man whose love she 
pines for, she will have her wish. The 
most efficacious ofthese love charms 
is said to be the mixing of nine drops 
of one’s blood with the food to be 
eaten by the adored. This method 
works marvels. 


EMPTYING THE REFORMATORIES 


How Apparently tncorrigible Lads 
Were Made Into Goed Citizens. 


The splendid results that attended 
the hazardous experiment in social 
reform made four years ago, when 
one hundred and twenty youths were 
released from Penetang Reforiiatory 
on their word of honor and provided 
with homes and situations, was the 
subject of an /unusually instructive 
address before the Canadian Institute 
at Toronto recently by Mr. J. J. Kelso, 
Superintendent of Neglected Children, 

Mr. Kelso said that, although ‘the 
experiment was regarded with appre- 
hension ,at the time, results had 
oroved its wisdom, as cf ail the boys 
released only six had got into the 
hands of the police after leaving the 
reformatory, and the majority be- 
came established as good citizens. 

Most of the lads were victims of 
wrong social conditions—the lack of 
proper homes, of education and of 
moral and religious mstruction. They 
had become familiarized with crime 
by too frequent arrest. There had 
been too much law in dealing with 
them and an almost entire absence 
of love and true Christian compassion. 
It was-not contended, said Mr. Kelso, 
that reformatories could be done with- 
out, but they ysholld be resorted to 
only after othe? means had failed and 
should be conducted on a high ethical 
plane aiming to’ develop character 
through freedom of action and self- 
control rather than by repression and 
degradation. .In the past thousands 
of boys had been made criminals by 
the legal machinery designed to save 
them, but all this was being changed 
by the human spirit of the age; child. 
ren’s courts separate from the ordin- 
ary system, apd cducatiohal rather 
than punitive, were being established 
everywhere, and the perssewnd move- 
ment was taking hold as never before.

UNCALLED FOR 


A paper “made by”———published 
not more than a hundred miles from 
Coleman, in referring to the Pass Turf 
Association race meet, had for the 
heading: ‘‘Successful Race Meet.” Then 
further down the column, had the re- 
mark: “The 6-8 event furnished the 
rankest piece of race track robbery 
ever seen on a track in this part of the 
country.” How could the race meet 
have been successful if there was rob- 
bery connected with it? The gentle- 
men connected with the race meet de* 
serve nothing but p¥aise for the suc- 
cessful manner in which the events 
were conducted, and it is not for those 
to judge who do not know a herse race 
from a political meeting. Such slan- 
der about the good residents of this 
district will not be tolerated. And al- 
though the paper in which it appeared 
has only 250 of # circulation, it cannot 
do the harm is was intended to do. 
The members of {he Pass Turf Associa- 
tion are highly indignant over the af- 
fair, and justly so, for not one of the 
members deserve to be published in 
such‘a dispicable manner. 


NEGRO IMMIGRATION 


The Edmonton vie eae says:— 
Among the visitors at the mayor's of- 
fice yesterday afternoon was G.W. 
Mitchell, a highly educated negro. who 
is the founder and principal of the 


Loyal Legion Cv-operative Educa- 
tional system of Minneapolis. He says 


that over 1500 colored people have 
come to Alberta diwing the past year 
and there promises: to be a big immi- 
gration in the future as they desire to 
be under the freedoia1 of the Canadian 
laws which afford better treatment to 
the negroes than do_ those of the Uni- 
ted States. Mr. Mitchell states that 
his society is for the purpose of im- 
proving the moral comdition of the 
newcomprs but the may«:r pointed out 
that the district does not desire immi- 
grants, upon whom it is necessary to 
start moral reform work immediately 
upon arrival. 


MOUNTED POLICE LEAVING SERVICS 


During the discussion of the ‘‘Mount- 
ed Police item” in the House at Ottawa 
last week, the premier expressed his 
regret that many of the elder men 
were leaving the force. Jolin Heron, 
member for this district, championed 
the cause of the men and saic! that the 
principal cause of this falling away 
was the smallness of the jpay. He 
eulogized the work the force: is doing, 
and made a strong plea for hi gher pay. 
He pointed out also that an in adequate 
reward had been offered for the cap- 


ture of the slayer of the mouimtecl pos | 


liceman at Prank. 


MILLIONS FOR CANADA 

A despatch from “Washington says 
that during the last seven mor iths 39,- 
000 people left the United States for 
Canada. At least 5,000 of these were 
farmers who sold their farims in the 
United States to buy similar property 
in Canada, and it is estimated that 
they each carried an average wf $8,000 
from that country. They thus collect- 
ively carried $40,000,000 into Canada. 
The other emigrants who left the Uni- 
ted States for Canada carried, it is esti- 
mated, between $1,500 and $2,000 each.

of Pete Blake. A good match wi 
meee Pincher City playing ha 
yut was held in check and beaten by a 
score of 2—0, At 2.15 o'clock. Lund- 
breck and Bellevue lined up, The two 
teams were very evenly matched both 
instrong kicking and size, and at one 
time the score stood 1 all. It was ar- 
ranged to play till one scored and 
tossed for goal. Bellevue scored on a 


penalty, after about 20 minutes: hard | 


playing. At 6 o’clock Bellevue and 
Cowley lined to play the final. The 
betting was running from two, three 
and four against one, that Bellevue 
would win the cup. In about ten 
mintites from start Bellevue scored. 
Cowley then took the ball down to the 
other end of the field and the play was 
very interesting, and became too hot 
for: Bellevue, and one of that side 
pushed the ball behind making a cor- 
ner kick for Cowley. Bob Baker shot 
the corner which dropped right in 
front of the goal which Clem Freeman 
headed through, thus tieing the «core. 
Soon Geo. Baker scored a goal ona 
penalty. Art Freeman did some good 
stopping in goal, but again Bellevue’s 
strong shot along with the slippery 
mud, put the ball past Freeman’s goal. | 
At one time the score stood 2—2. 
Thirty minutes extra time was played, 
fifteen minutes each way. Some more 
hard play was indulged in, but the | 
ball failed to pass through either goal. 
Patterson and Baker made some fine 
stops as backs. The teams were about | 
jlayed out, so it was decided that 
ellevue and Cowley hold the cup six | 
months each. The Cowley line up was | 
as follows: Goal, A. Freeman; right | 
back, Tweedie; left back, G. Baker; | 
centre half back, Patterson; right half 
back, J. Baker; left half back, H. Han- |

tended spent a most enjoyable time. 


The Publisher’s Song 


How dear to the heart is the steady 
subscriber, 
Who pays in advance at the birth of 
each year; 
Who lays down his dollars, and offers 
it gladly, 
And casts ’round the office a halo of | 
cheer. ' 
Who never says, ‘‘Stop it, I cannot 
afford it!” 
Or, “I’m getting more newspapers 
now than I read,” 
But always says, ‘‘Send it, the family 
all like it— 
In fact we all think it a real house- 


hold need!” 

How welcome he is when he steps in 
the sanctum! 

How he makes our heart throb! 

How he makes our eyes dance! 

We outwardly thank him—we inward- 
ly bless him— 

The steady subscriber who pays in ad- 
vance.

WHY MEN GET ANGRY. 


The Facts In Regard to That Nice 
Little Game at the Goitts’. 

The Joneses. Mr. and Mrs., went 
over to spend the evening with the 
Goitts the other evening. because peo 
ple get tired of staying at home afi 
the time and just listening to each 
other’s palaver. 

By and by Mr. Goitt suggested that 
they all draw up ground Mrs. Goltt’s 
little. sewihg table ane have a nice 
frientily game of poker for an hour or 
£0. 

Everybody wanted to show that he 
or she was a sure enough. sport, ab 
rightski, and then one always has ap 
idea at the DSeginuing of a poker game 
that just as.like as not he can make 
the evening proitable as well as 
merely pleusant. 

Mrs. Goitt and Mrs. Jones were 
about even in their working knowledge 
oy.,the great national guine, and the 
men folks therefore backed them up 
cheerfully, assuming that they would 
break about even. 

After a half hour or so of play the 
visitors took the lead, as the sporting 
editor might say. It was only a penny 
ante, five cent limit game; but, then, 
people have, been known to clean up 
a first rate little bunch of bin money 
in even sucl a juvyentie game as that, 


and Jones already had. his chips 
stacked up tnto four cute little eylin- 
ders in front of him Mrs. Joneg 


would reach over and borrow ten chipe 
or so new and again, and a momentary 
frown would flit over her husband's 
brow, but he didn’t say anything. 

By and by Jones took notice of the 
fact that Mrs. Jones was reaching 
over into his suptreasury vaults and 
picking up chips half a stack at a 
time and putting them into the pot as 
fast as she could meet Mr. Goitt’s bets 
and raise him back ugain. 

Mr. Jones looked at Rer when he 
saw bis hoard of chips disappearing 
jn a way that inquired plainly, “Are 
you sure you've got it on. him?" 

“Got a straight!" whispered Mrs. 
Jones when she found opportunity to 
whisper without being observed, and 
Jones gave her a look that said, “Go 
as far as you like,” for straights nad 
been pretty good that evening, and the 
pot, after the way it had been sweet- 
ened, looked worth while. 

Finally Mr. Goitt called her. “AI 
I’ve got is three ladies,” he said in a 
tone of polite inquiry, laying down his 
band, 

“Well, 1 ,aave a straigh.,” gurgled 
Mrs. Jones; “see—queen, king, ace; 
deuce, trey!” 

Mr. Jones gave her a look that teld 
her something was amiss bofore any- 
body had time to say a word. 

“Why, the ace comes after the king, 
doesn’t it?’ she inquired. “And doesn’t 
the two spot come after the ace and the 
three spot sfter the two spot? I'd just 
like to know why that Isn't a straight!” 

Mr, Jones watched Mr. Goitt rake in 
the pot and didn’t say anything—-nos

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” 


The Particulars of a Remarkable Cure Told by a 


Presbyterian Clergyman--- The Sufferer 
Brought Back from Death’s Door. 


St. Andrew’s Manse, 
Cardigan, P.E.I., Jan. 1908. 


Though I have never been sick my- 
self, and have not had occasion to use 
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, I thought 
you ought to know of the remarkable 
cure they have wrought in Mr. Old- 
ing’s case. 


During a visit to my home in Meri- 
gomish, N.8,, some years ago, I was 
grieved to find oar next door neigh- 
bor and friend, Michael Olding, very 
low. “He is not expected to live,” 
my mother informed me, “And you 
must go over and see him as he is 
liable to pass away at any moment.” 
“Not expected to live,” that wag the 
opinion not only of the doctor who 
attended him, but of his *wife and 
family as well. Upon visiting him 
myself I found abundant evidence to 
confirm their opinion. 

Mr. Olding had for years béen af- 
flicted with asthma and _ bronchitis, 
bert now a complication of diseases 
was ravishing his system. He had 
been confined tc his bed fr ~orthe 
ond w reduced to a. skeleton. 
Though evidently glad to see me,’ he 
eon with the greatest difficulty, 
and seemed to realize t it was the 
beginning of the end. e was dail

to twice their natural size, and

i8|through, but they 


had ever seen him, for, as I said, he 
had always been ailing. in sheer des- 
peration he had asked his wife to get 
him Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills. They 
soon began to help him. His appetite 
and strength began to improve, and 
to the astonishment of his family and 
friends he rapidly regained his health. 
Now, though the burden of well] nigh 
four score years ig upon him, he is 
able to do a fair day’s work, and is 
in the efijoyment of good health, 
even the asthma has ceased to trou- 
ble him as in former years. 

Mr. Olding himself, as well as his 
neighbors and the writer of this letter, 
confidently believe that his rescue 
from the very jaws of death—seeming- 
ly so miraculous—is due under the 
blessing .of God to the timely and 
continuous use of wr, Williams’ Pink 


Pills.

Mr. Olding himself writes: “I am

Out in Mexico his postion 1s nique, 
for his influence is as 
the czar. The power/|of his personall-

his iron hand he is a popular hero.

fon said, “Yes; one does not vote when 
one is afraid.” 

“This reproach burned into me like

at the time, ‘and made me seize the 
pen which was again proffered me. 
Pushing nfy way between the electors, 
I passed up to the room and recorded 
my vote, not for Santa Anna, but in 
favor of Senator Don Juan Alvarez, 
who figured as chief of the revolution- 


( ary movement.” 


Diaz hastily fled from the town and 
gathered round him a little force of 
fierce revolutionaries spoiling for a 
fight. He gave battle <o the troops sent 
to arrest him and won his first victory. 
From that day he was a made man. 
His vise was rapid. Before he was 
thirty he had already become,a colonel 
and a famous leader. Then his party 
came into power, and he was made a 
“general of brigade.” 

It was not Igng before the country 
was again in a state of civil war. Diaz 
of course was in the thick of the fight- 
ing, and. no sooner had he crushed the 
opposition than he found himself

tributed the lack of success of her 
mounted troops to the inferior grade 
of horses with which they were sup-

have decided that an effective means 
of reaching that end lies in the en- 
couragement of horse racing, as it is 
indulged in by occidental countries. 
The government is doing all it can to 
advance the equine sport which we, are 
trying to discourage in this cotbtry,

received by the people... More than 200

PREVENT THE FOREST FIRES 


(Qassim 

“An ounce o* prevention is worth a 

pound of cure.” The protectipn of a 
forest from fire is one of the beat pos- 
sible illustrations of the old saying; 
for often a few minutes spent in tho 
roughly extinguishing a camp-fire or 
a quarter of an hour passed in put- 
ting out an incipient blaze may mean, 
and often has meant, the saying of; 
ymany thousands of dollars worth of 
itimber. This is the main idea of the 
patrol system carried on in Ontario 
and Quebec, forests for years past; 
what is aimed-at is to discover the 
fire in its early stages and put it out 
then, before it has a chance to reach 
large proportions. 

Small forest fires. doa tremendous 
amount of damage which is not real- 
ized. Such fires, burning in the dead 
leaves and other. litter of the forest 
(“‘surface’”’ fir6s) or consuming the soil 
itself (‘‘ground” fires) wound the roots 

trees and these 


insects. , 

In places in the Riding Mountain 
forest reserve-in Manitoba, it is found 
that,among the poplar trees, three out 
of every four are affécted with rot in 
the ‘“‘butt’’ log—i.e., the log nearest 
the stiimp—a condition which is due 
to the fact just. mentioned, as the re- 


in years past.

ONEY w one of the earliest 
sweets of which we have any 
knowledge. In Bible records 


honey is frequently referred to, 


not ‘only as an article of food, but 
as @& synonym for sweetness. Sarm- 
son and the honeycomb, the honey 
put among the provisions bestowed by 
Joseph upon Benjamin, awa ineluded 
among other gifts sent as friendly of- 
ferings on sundry occasions; the locusts 
and wild honey of John the Baptist— 
these and other references to honey are 
familiar to all Scripture students, For 
some unexplained reason, honey was, 
in certain circumstances, supposed to 


confer wisdom .upon the one who ate 
it. “Butter and honey shall he eat that 
he may know to refuse the evfl and to 
choose the good,"’ said Isaiah; and there 
is the story told of Jonathan eating the 
forbidden honeycomb, and thereby hav- 
ing his eyes enlightened. Leaving,sa- 
cred history,.we recall that the honey 
of Hymettus has been famous ever 
fince the days when Greece was a pow- 
er, and there are mentions of honey in 
many classical writings. 

It seems a little odd that honey is 
not more of an article of diet in this 
country—not because of indorsement of 
it in sacred and profane writings, but 
because in other countries it is held in 
high esteem as a food. The traveler in 
Switzerland would ‘feel that his break- 
fast was at fault if there were not a 
dish of clear, strained honey provided 
for him. ‘The dwellers in the Black 
Forest and in other parts of Germany 
make honey an important part of their 
regular dietary, and other European 
nations hold honey in good repute. 


WHAT IT IS COMPOSED OF 


In the United States I do not think it 
generally has a good reputation. I have 
found a prevailing impression that it is 
not digestible. ‘‘Be careful how you eat 
honey,” I have been warned by those 
who seemed to understand their subject. 
Yet an excellent authority on matters 
relating to dietetics « of honey as 
SE eae tea a fattening when 
eaten with bread.”” He also supplies a 
definition of the sweet under consider- 
BUOR neuen ‘s WARE Nt 

“Honey is a form of sugar prepared 
from the nectar of various flowering 
plants, gathered by bees, and stored by 
them in cells. It is really a vegetable 
product, although manufactured by an 
insect. In addition to sugar, it holds 
several other ingredients, principally 
wax, gum, pigment and odorous mate- 
mals. The sugar exists in two forms— 
erystallizable and_ non-crystallizable. 
The former is somewhat similar to glu- 
cose."" Then follows an analysis, from 
which we learn that honey contains 
more than’78 per cent. of. fruit sugar 
and over 16 per cent, of water, as well 
as a negligible quantity of other ingre- 
dients. 

Nothing in this sounds especially 
threatening to the digestion, and. yet 
the fact remains that honey disagrees 
‘with some persons seriously, and when

instead of the artificial combs of paraf-

reason that the wax, cannot be easily 
assimiliated. Let me counsel those who 
have suffered from eating honey in the

strained honey before condemning the 
sweet entirely as an article of diet.
